sweatshop pop

A sub-genre of pop music made by artists to be used in advertising, store ambience, corporate settings, and other similar situations, or seemingly to do so. The name is derived from the fake and manufactured feel of the song, making it seem like it was made in a sweatshop. These songs often get tens of millions of streams, mostly from Target and TJ Maxx playing it in all of their stores repeatedly for weeks or months.
